I don't usually pay any attention to movie-related financial news, but it was fun to learn that Om Shanti Om and Saawariya both beat out Lions for Lambs at the worldwide box office in the week of their release, and while I mean no disrespect to Meryl Streep (awesome) and Robert Redford (classic), it is with great pleasure that I say to Tom Cruise: suck on that, you complete and utter freak of nature.

my other filmi projects

Bong Along - a blog on vintage Bengali movies co-written by Indie Quill and me (and perhaps a few very friendly appearances by other friends as well).

Masala Zindabad - the podcast by Indie Quill and me, often featuring other writers and fans as guests. Masala Zindabad is an affectionate and thoughtful look at the broad range of themes that define Bollywood and make Bollywood defy definition. Available at iTunes.

Mysterious Order of the Skeleton Suit - the Agents of M.O.S.S. are a shadowy confederation of like-minded writers, broadcasters, creators, and jetsetters who have banded together in a bold mission to bring international intrigue and pop entertainment to the masses. Can anyone stand in the way of their diabolical schemes?
